What do you treasure?
I treasure every day. Life has taught me not to take anything for granted. I treasure my family: the family God gave me and the family that I found along the way. I treasure the children in my life: Ari, TyTy and Faith who see the world with amazing eyes. I treasure having a career that I love and that invigorates me every day.

Conclusion and call for action:
